Jonathan Toews Named NHL’s #2 Star of the Week

Toews recorded multi-point efforts in each of the Blackhawks three games (4-5-9) as Chicago won all three contests to improve their overall record to 39-18-5 (83 points), second in the Central Division. On Feb. 21, Toews matched career highs for goals (3) and points (5) in a game, including the winning tally, in a 5-3 victory over the Central Division-leading Minnesota Wild. The Blackhawks captain then notched two assists in a 6-3 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Feb. 23 before closing out the week with one goal and one assist in a 4-2 triumph over the St. Louis Blues on Feb. 26. The 28-year-old Winnipeg, Man., native is currently riding a six-game point streak (5-8-13).

Nashville Predators left wing Filip Forsberg was named the number one star and Calgary Flames left wing Johnny Gaudreau was named the third star.

I really don’t recall Toews ever being this hot offensively. This has been going on for more than a week. I’m no expert, but one would have to believe the length of the NHL season calls for conservation of effort and energy.

It looks like he’s skating better/faster than he was earlier in the season. If it was a back injury he was battling it would make sense. The Blues d-men are not the most fleet of foot but he blew by them like they were stuck in mud on his goal last night. Course – big props to Schmaltz for placing the pass perfectly so Toews didn’t have to break stride. A beauty play all around for sure.

They’re not dying. And I wasn’t laughing at the guys that have it. More in the wild’s predicament that the Hawks are coming and they have that going around. Hopefully this isn’t Crawfords ailment and hopefullyit stays out of the Hawks locker room.
